THOMAS BREEN / NEW HAVEN INDEPENDENT

She’s been mayor of Connecticut’s second largest city since 2014. Now, Toni Harp is hoping voters in New Haven will give her a fourth term. 

This hour, Mayor Toni Harp joins us in studio just days after she received the endorsement of the city’s Democratic town committee.

Candidate Justin Elicker is a likely challenger--promising to collect enough signatures to appear on the September ballot. If that happens, will voters in this overwhelmingly Democratic city choose her in the primary? 

We’ll take your questions and comments.
